Button's storming run of four successive victories was brought to a halt in disappointing fashion when the 29-year-old could only manage sixth place at Silverstone.

The Brawn GP star bemoaned the English weather as cool conditions meant he was unable to get sufficient heat into his tyres around a notoriously fast circuit.

The climate in the Eifel mountains, home of the Nurburgring, will not be too far removed from those experienced in Northamptonshire.

But it is a circuit considerably more to the liking of a car that will also possess a number of new upgrades.

Button, who holds a 23-point lead over team-mate Rubens Barrichello at the top of the drivers' standings, said: "The Nurburgring is a tricky circuit but there are two key characteristics which should be good for our car.

"It is a relatively slow circuit with a lot of medium-speed corners, which are one of the car's strengths.

"The Nurburgring is also one of the heaviest braking circuits on the calendar, so you need a car which will be good through the four heavy braking zones.

"With the extra week's break, everyone has been working extremely hard in preparation for this race to get the best package.

"We're looking forward to showing what the car can do after a disappointing weekend by our standards at the British Grand Prix.

"My last stint at Silverstone showed the pace of the car is really competitive, so we're confident we can turn it around at this race."

Echoing Button's comments, Brawn GP boss Ross Brawn also feels the Nurburgring will be "a good circuit for our car and play to its strengths".

Brawn added: "We've several new aerodynamic parts from Silverstone which were not used in qualifying and the race due to the issues we faced there.

"Along with additional improvements scheduled for the Nurburgring, they should position us well going into the weekend."

The realist in Brawn always appreciated his team's run of results - and Button's in particular, as the Briton won six of the first seven races overall - would come to an end.

But that has only steeled his resolve and made him more determined to address the matter this weekend.

"Whilst coming away with third and sixth-placed finishes from Silverstone was still a good outcome from our home grand prix, we would be the first to admit the result did not meet our expectations," added Brawn.

"However, we have always said we would have a fight on our hands to maintain our excellent run of results at the start of the season and everyone is looking forward to that challenge.

"As a team, we have a good history of going away from a race, thinking about the outcome, identifying where we need to make improvements and then coming back stronger.

"So we will be hoping to come away from the race in Germany this weekend with a successful result."
